Title: Strange Astra Problem
Post by: Auto Addict on 30 March 2019, 07:29:02

Mrs AA's 1.8 Petrol 2005 (16k from new) has developed a strange fault.

It's happened twice this month.

Car is locked, radio off, been standing for several hours and the radio switches itself on.
 
No fault codes present.

What could possibly cause that?

This was a common fault if you google. My 62 plate is fine but issue extended to other types eg Zafira so related to type of radio system. Someone mentioned try leaving a cd in the player and see if it still does it.

Is it a 'feature'? Is there a setting somewhere related to travel/weather/news/alarm clock that can cause it to come out of standby?
